Gslink&Slinkymama:
Gary – work on Jasmer and Fizzy, Go to Texas Challenge, Go to Geowoodstock, hide a D5/T5 geocache

Sydney (Sherminator18):
– Jasmer. Maybe next year I can take a trip to Michigan to get the 7/2000 and 8/2000 caches that are there.
– Continue to work on my Fizzy Grid.

Cecilia (Ravenclawtia):
– fill up remaining calendar days in 2017

Jim Stark (Starkacher):

1. Carried over from 2017 resolutions…

Complete the three tri-state challenge caches for Ohio/Michigan/Indiana
(the challenge caches located in each state requires 100 finds in both of the other two states, I have that many in Ohio & Michigan. I only have 62 finds in Indiana, the goal for 2018 is to find at least 38 more in Indiana and then get the three challenge caches)

After many years of pursuing goals in regards to calendar fills, I am tired of these must find a cache on certain day goals, so I will not set a specific target this year. However, I will track my progress and on these Round 3 days. I will see if I feel like going for a cache (or a few).

It is interesting tracking the progress even though I am not avidly pursuing these rounds.

3. There is one exception to my aversion this year to setting a goal of having to find a cache on certain days. Jan 14 is the only calendar day on which I have never found a traditional geocache. In past years, I found a Mystery, a Multi and an Event. I will find a traditional on that date so that I complete Round 1 of a Traditional-Only 366 Calendar Fill.

4. I have hidden/placed at least 1 geocache a month for the past 25 months. It was part of my goal to get to and maintain a ratio of at least 1 hide for every 100 finds. As far as I know, a “Monthly Hiding Streak” is not a stat that I have seen tracked before. But, once I noticed it, I decided I want to continue that streak (at least for another year). This should also keep my Hide to Find ratio well above where I want it.

5. Continue my current Monthly FTF streak (currently at 25 as of the end of 2017).

That is now the 7th longest Monthly FTF streak of all Ohio geocachers.

If the streak continues, it would be the 5th longest by July 2018.

This is the 3rd longest “Active” Monthly FTF streak of all Ohio geocachers.

FYI: #1 in Ohio is the local FTF hound and a geofriend with 90 months and counting.
